Winter Highlights in Erfurt

The winter season in the Thuringian state capital invites you to unforgettable experiences. The winter magic will shine in the egapark from December 6, 2024 to January 5, 2025: impressive light installations, a glowing observation tower and culinary highlights in the "GenussPark" make the visit a magical adventure for the whole family. Christmas city tours through the festively lit old town, accompanied by Santa Claus or an angel, will put you in the pre-Christmas spirit from November 26 to December 26, 2024. The tour ends at the atmospheric Christmas market on Domplatz, where mulled wine, Thuringian delicacies and handmade unique items beckon against a picturesque backdrop. The Thuringian Zoopark also offers exciting programs for families between the holidays. Children experience unforgettable moments with feedings and interactive insights into the animal world. Contemplative hours await you in St. Michael's Church and St. Severi's Church, whose quiet beauty offers a break from the hustle and bustle. A winter stroll through the historic Kirchgasse rounds off the experience. Half-timbered houses, the aroma of traditional food and the flair of centuries past bring history to life - a delight for all the senses.
